This is my first review. I am a mature professional who does understand that low price may reduce the quality. I was SHOCKED by the dirt and grime! I had to wear my shoes in my room (#113) because my feet left black soot in the shower because the carpeting was so dirty! The paint was disgustingly dirty, the plumbing... more

I stayed here in the middle of July and I would have to say the overall experience was not that bad. I had spent the previous night at the Queen's Victoria Residence which was far worse than this motel was. The good things... Cheap - $65 a night Available Clean Comfy Bed Microwave and Bar fridge Friendly staff The water... more

Rest Inn in Kingston, ON is a great place to spend the night while in town. The room we were in had 2 queen beds, tv, microwave, dresser, wardrope, fridge, ac and all other accessories. We got a very large room which was tidy and quiet at night. Parking is free. They also had a bar, billiard tables, etc. Downtown... more

I no longer fear hell as a I have been there and back (luckily) and lived to give my review of the complete and utter devastation known as the Rest Inn. As we enter Hells Gates the first thought in my mind is not "how quaint" but WTF? Upon entering the lobby for checkin we are greeted by security better... more

This is basic accommodation, not very pretty, in fact, you can easily imagine a crime scene as portrayed on TV shows that involve crimes at roadside motels. Kind of thrilling as it put us on edge immediately. But the rooms are spacious and clean, the staff helpful, and the area is safe. It was fine for an overnight stay -... more

I am not the type to complain, and am not picky nor grossed out easily. This is one of those rare cases where I was digusted, and quite upset. We paid $130 dollars for a one night stay in a non-smoking room (but were placed NEXT to a SMOKING room). Our room also featured: - heavily stained carpet - stained... more

The place isn't quite as bad as some of the other reviews may indicate. The staff was courteous and friendly. Nothing too horrid about the rooms, although they do need some touch ups - cracked ceilings, peeling paint, sticky door knobs, etc...but I guess you get what you pay for. Main problem was the noise...I was awoken at 2 in... more

Haha - Though I say the Rest Inn is bit of a crack house, I've stayed here on 4 separate occasions and recommended friends and family here because of the price and location. Probably the closest hotel to the bars in the Hub (Stages, etc.), also the cheapest hotel close to campus, across the street from a Tim Horton's which... more

Our room was booked by a friend and then I read the OLD reviews from 2004 on this site and was VERY apprehensive. However, I am pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised as were the other 3 people travelling with me. I don't know what accounts for the drastic change from the reviews I read to the actual experience... more

Horrid.

Seriously, don't stay here. It has had a really bad reputation for as long as I can remember - I'm a Kingstonian born and raised. I recently stayed there as I have moved to Toronto and was back in town to see friends, and against my own memories I booked a room here as it is the cheapest in town.... more

RestInn, Manager

There is not really alot i can say here, the fact you consider this place to be "Horrid" yet stayed here says enough to me about you.. Also you may want to note that our avg price is much lower than 80% of other Kingston motels. It is not $10 more to stay at the Super 8, but you may...
